Hugo

Do you LOVE train stations too?

Especially train stations in Paris All that hub-bub. And the anticipation, the expectations! So much more managable than airports too. And the big clocks! Tick-tock...tick-tock. Is it time yet? I saw Hugo yesterday based on the graphic novel, The Invention of Hugo Capret

Such a perfect Hugo post. Sadly Hugo doesn't start in Australia until mid January. I can't wait to see it. Did you see the 2D or 3D version? I read the book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret this year, it made my top 12 list. It's magnificent, if you haven't read it, I'd really recommend it, it's an astonishing concept. A silent film on paper.

Paris train stations are great (in particular the Gare de Lyons and its wonderful restaurant le Train Bleu!) bit I should point out to you that at least four of your photographs are of St Pancras Station in London! Lovely post anyway - I'm longng to see Hugo.

Great post, Carol. I am looking forward to taking several trips in 2012: Mexico so I can flee the dreadful Seattle winter in a few weeks; Europe, bien sûr, in late spring. Paris, London (I will get to swing by St Pancras at some point,) and finally my beloved Nice (am already looking forward to the train ride ;-) Happy New Year to you and Bear. Thank you for the fun posts, "les billets gourmands," you kept popping out this year, Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

hugo is definitely on the must see list! re-watched midnight in paris yesterday and loved it as much as the first time around. going to see hugo will be a fabulous way to remember the last evening of 2011!may your new year be filled with joy and many blessings carol!

I found the book absolutely mesmerizing and the movie was one of the best this year. And a good thing that has come of it is that there has been an upsurge in interest by children in the works of George Melies which is a good thing. Wishing you all the best for the New Year.Cheers,Stephan

Dear Carol, I LOVE train stations too! Gare de Lyons, St Pancras and your own Grand Central would probably top my list, but since I love train travel even more than stations, I hope to add to that list soon. And I am dying to see Hugo, just need to find the time. I wish you all kinds of good things in 2012 and look forward to another year of great blog posts at PB!K xo

Hi I'm Carol Gillott,
My Mom taught me watercolors at 5. I'm still at it, now tripping over cobblestones, living in a 6th-floor garret on l'Ile Saint-Louis, Paris. Read Parisbreakfast with a hot chocolate and croissant.
